Contract is for pre-commissioning services at the Salamanca Platform in the Gulf of Mexico. EnerMech has secured a significant contract from LLOG Exploration Co. for pre-commissioning services at the Salamanca Platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
This contract includes hydrotesting and nitrogen dewatering of three 8 in, infield flowlines, one 16 in. oil export pipeline and one 10 in. gas export pipeline.
The award follows a previous contract in for topside pre-commissioning services which EnerMech secured in 2024.
The Salamanca Floating Production Unit (FPU) will operate at a depth of approximately 6400 ft of water with production from the Leon and Castille fields. With an initial production capacity of 60 000 bpd of oil and 40 million ft3/d of natural gas, this project is poised to make a substantial contribution to the United States’ energy sector.
Charles ‘Chuck’ Davison Jr., EnerMech CEO, said: “The Salamanca project is an important one for the future of the country’s energy sector, and we are proud to have been chosen to work on what is a vital piece of infrastructure.
“To secure a second contract on the development is a strong reflection of the capabilities and expertise of our team in the region and I’d like to give kudos to Brennon Fitzgerald for their leadership and guidance.”
Notably, the FPU is a refurbished structure, previously the decommissioned Independence Hub production facility.
Frazer Thomson, SVP Energy Solutions said: “This project represents a key opportunity for EnerMech and is further evidence of the organisation’s dedication to advancing environmentally responsible solutions in the energy industry.
“We look forward to providing LLOG Exploration Co. with efficient and thorough pre-commissioning services befitting of the initiative’s scale.”
